The ring of St. Thomas 503

The trail starts from the central town square in Vižinada near the large parish church dedicated to St. Jerome. The small plateau at the back of the church, offers a magnificent view of the Mirna valley that we are headed to. We descend through landscaped vineyards and olive groves that alternate with fields and forests. Following the signs we enter the forest admiring the colors of the Istrian flora. We turn to the left and climb to the hill of St. Thomas (299m), from which the horizons of hills, hamlets, churches, valleys of the Mirna River are offered, you can admire the blue sea towards the west side of the hill. Following the signs, we descend to the old square, enjoying the narrow streets of Vižinada on wich a long time ago walked our ballerina Carlotta.
